Dears,
I am Using persistent storage on HF spaces.
1- Persistent storage acts like traditional disk storage mounted on `/data` . How to access it or see it in the directory structure…
is there a code to mount it or it is mounted by default…
If you are using Hugging Face open source libraries, you can make your Space restart faster by setting the environment variable `HF_HOME` to `/data/.huggingface` . How to do such setting - I am using web-version of VS
Regards,
OMran
